Canada’s Envy: Russia and China

I attended a presentation entitled “Rising China: What Lessons Can We Learn From the 19th Party Congress?”, given by Guy Saint-Jacques, former Canadian ambassador to China under Stephen Harper. Guy was asked a question about China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), after not addressing the BRI in his core presentation. But, being forced to answer the audience member’s question, Guy [say it with me – GEE], responded with the following statement:

“The agreements surrounding the BRI are just a way for China to offload their excess steel, concrete and glass.” Slightly paraphrased, this is one of the most ridiculous statements about the BRI that I have ever heard, and I’ve heard a lot of presentations on the subject.

China’s BRI, enshrined in China’s constitution at the same 19th CPC Congress Guy was presenting on, is incontestably the most awesome planet-transforming infrastructure and development project in history. Guy’s response would be laughable if there wasn’t something much more revealing in this and other statements he made, and if he wasn’t part of Canada’s deep state.

This event was put on by the Canadian International Council (CIC), one of the main neo-conservative think tanks whose British controllers are moving the mouth pieces of the Canadian government in lock-step with Chrystia Freeland, Foreign Minister of Canada under the flailing Federal Liberal government. To say that the Federal Liberals are flailing is a gross understatement, considering the utter and dismal failure Justin Trudeau has been as Prime Minister of Canada. When you think of the word ‘Statesman’, Justin Trudeau embodies the exact opposite of everything that that word intends.

However, while Justin Trudeau is taking his ‘Train Wreck’ to a whole new International scale, what I am concerned with here is the distraction he represents from what is really going on in Canada’s failing ruling class.

The CIC holds events regularly sponsored by Global Affairs Canada (GAF), which is Freeland’s dysfunctional, technocratic Imperialist baby at this point, as she is the Minister of Everything. She’s also an avowed Russia hater, which is a very polite way of putting it. After attending this event, I would say that the ideology she and her network are connivingly spreading is also clearly behind the Anti-China uproars Canadians have been inundated with lately. But, the ideology they are espousing is sneaky and lying at best. Worse is they are openly admitting their British ‘pedigree’ and monetary-driven envy towards China’s economic successes using condescension that would make even political-correct ‘hall monitors’ cringe. The Canadian ruling class, as I saw at this event, are far more sophisticated, but superbly condescending nonetheless.

Neo-conservatives posing as neo-Liberals should be of no surprise to fellow revolutionaries paying attention. However, they are still tricky to spot – kind of like a zebra in a black and white-striped maze. People like Freeland and Guy are zebras in the maze of Canadian politics. Freeland and every other modern day elitist colonial outfit in Canada abuse the English language with neo-liberal words that have zero meaning (‘people-kind’). Acceptable and expected lip service being delivered in every boardroom and public meeting across Canada ad nauseam, the CIC meeting opened with the statement that “…this meeting is being held on unceded First Nations territory…” Meanwhile, the very system these elites are promoting is the same system that put First Nations people in residential schools in the first place, keep the minimum wage below survival level, and pump BILLIONS into CEO’s hands around the world while convincing 1st world citizens that China is a human rights abuser and climate change denier.

At this point I must tell you more about this event before I continue. Otherwise you just won’t get the flavor of corruption and moral degeneracy these people have deluded themselves with. Let me tell you, they are deluded, and they are losing this battle. I hope, after reading this article, you will comprehend that we are in fact winning and that this must be communicated to your fellow organizers.

It was with great trepidation that I registered for the event. I didn’t want to go alone as I knew this was the lions’ den. The CIC is the enemy of the people, and I couldn’t figure out why they were opening this discussion to the public. When I registered to get two tickets, I could only get 1. Sold out. So off I went with phone in pocket to record the event. As I waited for the attendees to arrive, the facilitator came in wearing a very prim, slightly flooded blue suit (MS Word or ‘Smurf’ blue), that showed off his jiffy Trudeau-esque socks. He was having some serious compatibility issues between the projector and apple laptop. I watched for 15 minutes as he and another British-schoolboy-type CIC employee helped him, by shaking their heads and pressing many buttons many times. I felt bad for them, sort of, as I know from my own previous work experience that a blunder like that could get you fired. I stepped to the front and politely suggested that it was a compatibility issue and that they might want to call IT or get a suitable cord that would solve the compatibility problem. The innocent, British looking man-child shook my hand and thanked me graciously for the help.

This all took place as I noticed the other attendees arriving. Mostly elderly people walked in who looked like they were attending a vaguely defined Panem (Hunger Games) retirement party. All were posh and colorfully well-dressed seniors for a Monday night meeting of retired British-Canadian Deep State members. Two seats down from me I heard one man mention he used to be the head of the CIIA (Canadian Institute for International Affairs), the forerunner to the CIC and sister organization to Britain’s Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA). Their American counterpart is the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). For those still trying to figure out how the deep state in Canada works, the CIC is the Canadian equivalent to Britain’s Chatham House.

However, I also noticed that there were other young non-uniformed minions in the audience, selectively given hand shakes and nods from the seniors in attendance. AH-HA! I thought: they are recruiting!

It is worth it at this point to tell a great story, which I believe illustrates what is happening here:

A newly graduated special operations officer, sent to report to his new commander, shows up and introduces himself. The commander asks the new officer what his areas of specialty are. After he names them, the commander asks if he took any history. The graduate responds, “No”. The commander scratches his head, and the graduate asks what is wrong? The commander says, “I can’t figure out why they listed you as an asset?”

In other words, the neo-liberalism and dumbing down of our general population has depleted their cadre and recruiting base. They need new blood! Alarm bells started going off in my head, but I stayed the course. My plan was just to listen and then leave right after.

Now, this recruiting scheme may not be the case at all levels of the deep state, but I would be willing to put down money that this is the case here in Canada – and I don’t gamble. Otherwise, an organization like the CIC holding this event open to the public, and others I’ve attended lately, just doesn’t make sense. This kind of public discussion just does not happen in Canada. So, I was glad to get an opportunity to share this with you readers.

So, I was ready to listen and soak up as much of the experience as I could. I watched as Guy presented his version of what is happening in Canada-China relations in the context of the 19th Party Congress. Below is a list of presentation highlights. While all points deserve their own reflection and rebuttal, I will just leave these here with some quips. The real kickers from Guy’s presentation will get their own treatment later:

Xi’s ‘Communism with Chinese characteristics was referred to by Guy as ‘Socialism with a Market Economy’ – that would be how western elites see it actually, but still not reality

Xi is a cult figure with absolute authority but NOT absolute power – this is an opening for the west to undermine Xi in China, in my opinion

China’s advances in Military and Economic power is not good news for their neighbors – maybe they should ask the Philippines, North and South Korea, Cambodia, Indonesia and Russia first, hmmm?

There has been a 70% changeover in Party leadership over the last few years – he coated over the fact that this changeover is due to Xi’s determined and principled crackdown on corruption

China’s government and politburo have a climate of fear – no kidding, the corrupt should be afraid if they are in Xi’s sphere

Canadian officials are frustrated that they only have access to the Chinese government and not the Politburo (Communist Party Leadership) – yeah, I guess so, since that is where the real power and discussions take place – not going to happen Guy

Pollution is way down in China – accurate and deserving of a nod

7 premiers from Canada have visited China – as they should

7 members of the Politburo have come to Canada – as they should

Canadian government officials have been frustrated at inaccurate counts of Chinese students studying in Canada, but the numbers are roughly 186,000 – this is just insinuating that Chinese spies are everywhere

China is a difficult market for foreign companies – only the ones who want to speculate, not for the ones who actually participate productively in the BRI

The Chinese regulatory environment is opaque and unpredictable – like our number one trading partner, the US, is not

Negotiations have been difficult in getting binding dispute mechanisms in place – again, only because the speculators and neo-liberal economics freaks want China to open their markets to speculation, and labour agreements that contain meaningless and destructive gender-neutral ‘language’, something CHINA WILL NEVER DO – therefore Xi is an evil, murderous, blood thirsty demon that must be regime-changed

Canada must make better use of the Chinese diaspora in Canada – warning to all Chinese here in Canada that you will be targeted for propaganda, lied to, and used to undermine China’s coming global and hegemonic economic win-win paradigm, which will benefit the general welfare in both China and Canada

China is a human rights abuser – he gave zero evidence, just blah, blah, blah.

So, as if this presentation of ‘facts’ couldn’t have gotten reality more garbled, it did. What blew my mind, was when Guy talked about Canada-China trade dollars. According to latest market reports, Canada-China trade is at $81Billion, British Columbia and Alberta garnering most of that. When Guy went through these numbers, he said that this number is likely inaccurate. What I heard next from the Panem around me was snickering. Snickering and giggling, like a kid who just got away with something bad, kind of snickering. Guy went on to say that the numbers are likely higher than the reports suggest because of capital being moved from China to Canada via Luxembourg, the Cayman Islands, and Hong Kong. Woah. This, ladies and gentle readers is the offshore black market of Canada’s elites.

Worthy of note, is that while not many people are aware, Vancouver, Canada has the highest number of addresses listed in the Panama Papers’ disclosure, and the Paradise papers are a close second. British Columbia, as I said in my question to Guy at the end of the presentation, is almost unlivable, largely due to this very problem that Canada refuses to address, known internationally as ‘Snow-Washing’. Most of the offshoring is due to our unregulated, ‘free market’ economics, which is facilitated by the exploding housing market. Don’t forget it was the CMHC which facilitated the bail-out for Canada’s banks in 2008. Foreigners with money, a lot of them from China fleeing Xi’s crackdown on corruption, are buying properties in B.C. at exorbitant prices with cash. If you are a hard-working individual with a decent chunk of money wanting to buy something more affordable in the Lower Mainland area, get in line behind Chinese, British and other elites from around the world, and cross your fingers. Brexit actually made Canada’s offshore problem entrenched because Brexit allowed Britain’s elite to move their money out of Britain, and guess where they are likely headed? Canada’s lax and openly mafia-style economic ‘loopholes’ are responsible for this. I repeat, it is CANADA THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ECONOMIC STRUGGLES – NOT CHINA as we are being told. If the snickering from the audience doesn’t tell you the problems that need to be addressed by us, Canadian taxpayers and voters, but are being blamed on foreigners by the British-Canadian elite, doesn’t convince you then read on.

The meeting was duly rounded out with the expected and nauseous questions from the Panem wanna-be’s about human rights and climate change. Some of the more critical questions and answers were “What exactly is China’s intention behind all this infrastructure building?”, and, “Should we Canadians be concerned about China buying Aecon?”, and, “Should we be concerned about corporate espionage?” Aecon is the main construction company building the highly controversial Site-C dam in Northern British Columbia. Guy issued the following statement with a straight and serious face: Because Barack Obama’s United States did not respond to Russia’s ‘invasion of Crimea’, and the ‘chemical weapons attack in Syria by the evil bloodthirsty Assad’, China saw it as a free ticket to build in the South China Sea and expand their economic and military influence globally…[if you did not grasp the intense insanity of that statement the first time around, you may want to read it again]. This is some highly inventive propaganda going on here, folks!

Now, if you are paying attention to world events, not as they are being reported by the compulsive liars in mainstream media, but by this blog and others, you will understand how absolute and fantastically deluded this answer was. For you, dear readers, I doubt you will need much proof of how completely out of touch with reality these statements are. There is plenty of on the ground reporting posted on the Saker and reported by others like Veterans Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), Executive Intelligence Review (EIRNS), independent reporters like Vanessa Beeley, Eva Bartlett, Senator Richard Black, and so many other brave souls to name who have risked their lives to defend the truth in Syria, the Ukraine, and North Korea, among other places.

After hearing Guy’s answer, I could not sit and just take notes like a polite Canadian is expected to do. That was MY red line, I suppose. Here’s what I said:

Cameron: “Not sure if anyone here has read Xi Jinping’s speech but I have. It is very inspiring for a so-called dictator of an autocratic country. What China has been concerned about is the Middle-Income Gap, of which they have identified and are enacting a solution. What is remarkable is that when Canadians complain about China’s human rights, in the last 15 years, China has raised 800M people out of poverty. In the context of human rights, Canada is fast, domestically, struggling with our own human rights problems. We have a lot more to worry about inside Canada than only First Nations water rights.

Do you know what the minimum wage is?”

Guy: “Um, eleven seventy-five”

Cameron: “The cost of living in most of Canada is almost unlivable. If we’re talking about basic human rights, Canada has more to worry about inside Canada, with a population that is on the verge of having enough of elitism, colonialism, and a service economy. Conrad Black wrote that the service economy is no longer sustainable. While everyone has a problem with State Owned Enterprises (SOE’s), it is those very SOE’s that has raised 800M people out of poverty in China. Infrastructure has raised those people out of poverty. How can Canada expect to reach an understanding and sincerely engage in FTA’s with China, when 97% of our economy is in speculation, while only 5 – 7% of China’s economy is exposed to speculation? When the inevitable financial bubble bursts, China is going to be ok and we are not. I am more concerned about our economy than human rights in China.”

Guy: “Thank you for your remark. You’re right about Xi’s speech being inspiring, and he does state his intention to raise their entire population out of poverty in the next years. People’s expectation in China has changed over the years. Years ago, Chinese people, when asked, only wanted to have a wrist watch, a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a radio. I have said to Chinese and Canadian associates that the Chinese should be grateful for the progress they’ve experienced. Tremendous progress has been had in China, getting rid of pollution […the genie’s out of the bottle on climate change], there are lessons we can learn from China, that we have to innovate more in the West as China has. We need to learn from each other.”

As I was speaking, members of the audience including smurf-man, turned around to look at who was saying these things. After my question was answered, Smurf-man got up quickly and ended the meeting with, “Soooo, thank you everyone for comiiiing”. Disgusted, I grabbed my coat and left immediately. This district dweller wasn’t going to wait for any of the Panem to recruit me into their next Hunger Game. Two people followed me out of the meeting to say thank you for my question, and that they agreed with what I said. One of these people was an elderly Chinese-Canadian woman who admitted she came out of curiosity when she saw the meeting advertised, as she has been excited about the BRI project and wanted to know more. When I asked her if she had satisfied her curiosity, we both agreed that what we just witnessed was a meeting of elites who did not have a clue about reality.

One last hilarity that happened before the meeting began late, due to the projector problems: the CIC leaders-in-training were helped by one twenty-something Chinese IT person so that Guy’s crap could be spewed on the screen. I couldn’t help but note the irony after listening to the presentation.

Canada is in for a huge, ‘MAGA’-like wakeup call. In light of Trump’s battle against the Deep State in the U.S., with Hillary Clinton and Obama being seriously challenged, the insanity of neo-liberal menticide conducted on the American, Canadian and European populations for the last 60 years, the sane, rational all but silenced and angry voices are speaking up. The National Rifle Association (NRA) issued one of their first political call to arms in years against this insanity last week. For ‘gun-culture’ critics in and out of the U.S., the NRA speak on behalf of members and non-members, including many Canadians, who have quite simply had enough of the dystopia projected into the western world’s living rooms. Guns are not the issue here. Standing up to the Imperialist system of the City of London and Wall Street’s destructive, imperialist monetary and neo-conservative/neo-liberal policies ARE the issue. Reality is not being addressed by our Institutions any longer – so if your only argument is about ‘to-gun’ or ‘not-to-gun’ then you have your head in the sand. No solutions are being presented. Instead we are told to open wide and swallow shallow virtue-signals which ignore the opioid crisis, gross FBI incompetence too high and grave to qualify properly in this sentence, domestic and foreign Pentagon/CIA operations so evil that, at this point, makes Nazi Germany’s crimes look like a misdemeanor. We have bankers and corporate executives rigging and exploiting the population through economic manipulation on such a grand scale without any government regulation or interference that the fallout is going to make 1929 look like Grandpa stole cookies from the cookie jar. Dear readers, we are literally at the tipping point of revolution – NOW.

The only policy that is going to get us back from the brink, promoted in Canada by the Society for the New Humanist Paradigm, internationally by the Schiller Institute and the LaRouche movement are encompassed in the following policies: 1) Glass Steagall, 2) National Banking, 3) Massive Infrastructure building and financing, and 4) Science driver projects. If these are not enacted, I suggest you consider the alternatives: war, austerity, more war, austerity, civil war, and austerity. Oh, and blowback from the killing of 1000’s of innocents a day (A DAY) in places most westerners can’t point to on a map. Rest assured, the people from countries the U.S. has been bombing to oblivion know where the U.S. is.

You probably thought I was only talking about the United States in referring to war, austerity, and civil war. To my fellow Canadians’ ‘not-in-my-backyard’ types, watching the insanity of U.S. culture from our safe and self-righteous northern border, please take note. Most North American cities like Vancouver IS Panem, and we peasants are the districts. Our cities have been Agenda 21’d successfully. Sure, the surface is shiny like a new quarter, that’s how it was meant to look – to distract you, sort of like Justin Trudeau’s socks. Meanwhile most honest hard-working people struggle painstakingly from month to month, and many, many more don’t make it. Homelessness and drug deaths in Vancouver is pandemic, and I would venture to say that most of Canada is in the same boat. In the prairie Provinces, when you’re homeless in March, blankets and sleeping bags don’t keep the human body alive when it is -55. It is time, fellow Canadians, to stop pointing fingers at Trump or the U.S. Deep State and start looking inward. Canada’s own Deep State, like the CIC, Canada 2020, Vision Vancouver, and many other Canadian talking-head institutions are much more active these days to attempt to quell the gravity well that is the BRI. I would say, too late, Panem, or maybe even #nottodaysatan.

Global Affairs Canada, and their British-Canadian mouth pieces at the CIC, in coordination with technocrat ‘elite-whisperer’ Chrystia Freeland, are condescending, imperialist bodies of evil masquerading as well-cultured thinkers. Despite their history and elitist pedigree, they are still a part of the old paradigm, New World Order, Project for a New American Century (PNAC), and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), now transformed into Canada 2020, the Federal body politic in Canada. Canada 2020 is the hotbed of neo-conservatives posing as neo-liberal zebras – and their apparatus is directly connected to the Hillary Clinton and Obama political machine, including the vile John Podesta. Now, we know, too, that this apparatus are also the authors of the ENTIRE Russia-did-it campaign, and soon to be China-is-evil campaign being stirred up. And they want WAR. Don’t think Scheer or Singh will be any different. Our elected officials are kept in line by the unelected officials like those at the CIC.

I’m going to divert here for a moment, if you will allow me to reflect on the irony of Occupy Wall Street’s mammoth failure, being that it was started in Vancouver by Adbusters, and that all my efforts to get Occupy Vancouver to talk about economics policies was rendered moot by ‘white male privilege’ arguments.

I was struck sitting at the CIC event, by the harsh reality that, considering the amount of money which goes into eco-activism and related ‘causes’ here on the Left Coast, why don’t they protest Nuclear war? Have you ever asked yourself that? There’s a myriad of legitimate reasons for the foot soldiers of these movements. But the leaders? Why doesn’t Naomi Klein or David Suzuki speak up about the U.S. nuclear posture review, and Putin’s devastating recent response? Here’s my answer: Eco-activists, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and most of the Alt-Left in the West (which were spawned from Occupy, by the way) don’t protest the financial military industrial complex because THEIR LEADERS ARE THE ELITES MINIONS, whether they know it or not. Development projects like the BRI, we are told, is the enemy by the left and the elites, when the opposite couldn’t be truer. When you scratch the surface of most radical eco-activists, they really see humanity as the enemy, not people like those at the CIC. Eco-activist leaders like Naomi Klein, just like the elites she represents, have a scorched-earth policy: if they can’t rule and control it how they want, they will burn or kill it – like a petulant child throwing a catastrophic earth-ending temper tantrum. That is why she admitted in an interview that the real target of her policies is to bring down Capitalism, (Jeremy Scahill and Glenn Greenwald should be ashamed of themselves for associating with her – honestly). This is not just a moral problem but an intellectual crisis that will last for generations if it is not stopped.

People who live in big cities all over North America have had psychic surgery performed on them with identity politics, eco-activism, neo-liberalism, LGTB legislation, and now the #MeToo movement, precisely because Wall Street and the City of London’s policies have made our cities unlivable, overcrowded and expensive beyond any rationality or justification. In reality, it is not development or capitalism that is to blame. The blame lies squarely with bankers and financial policy writers who make development and capitalism work for them, not the rest of us or the environment we live in. In this context, considering how much positive change the BRI has and will bring to the most poverty-stricken areas of the world, upper middle-class Vancouverites accusing China of human rights violations and climate change denial is something that only the brainwashed or elitist wanna-be’s would put enough energy into to muster a question to elites at an event like this. And that’s precisely what I witnessed.

But we don’t have a true economics education, either, in our society to know this (Thanks Occupy). So, we trudge along month to month, most of our spare time spent staring into the TV just to ‘get away from it all’.

I would venture to say that even you, reader, have contemplated if humanity was worth the fight. Sitting there, looking at the facilitator’s socks in front of me, I had to ask myself, where were all the Occupy people I argued with and fought side by side with? Why weren’t they there at the CIC event telling these people to go to hell? Besides the fact that Occupy was a now-proven Soros operation from top to bottom, there were a lot of well-meaning people involved who were really trying to understand the problems, but they just didn’t have the mental tools or historical knowledge to figure it out. No offense intended – please. This brings me back to the depletion of the elite’s cadre.

The Trans-Atlantic Imperialists, who are now openly finding shelter in Canada’s foreign policy, government, and corporatist structures, have, over the last 50 years, neutered the labour movement, performed menticide on the younger generation of potential activists through Occupy into what we see today in the alt-left, and de-moralized the anti-war/anti-globalist movements with shallow and meaningless neo-liberal programming. Let me not mince words here: I mean ACTUAL brainwashing. When you consider ALL of this together, like listening to a symphony, it is no wonder people in North American cities don’t fight for anything meaningful like economic justice, cooperation with Russia and China, or the BRI. That is why I sat alone at the CIC meeting. This is why Occupy went from being about the 2007/8 bail-out to ‘white privilege’. The only ones who have privilege are the elites, dear Canadians and Americans, and the rest of us are at the breaking point.

But, friends, do take heart. What was clear to me at this CIC event is that the Trans-Atlantic Imperialist policies are losing ground rapidly. This network’s degeneracy and lies have been hundreds of years in the making. They use the same tactics over and over, as real history shows, just with a new coat of paint. (That’s why they don’t teach history properly.) Zebras abound in the maze of Canadian and U.S. politics. But, with enough courage, using reality as you know it and feel every day, using a concert of truths, talk about the reality in faraway places even though you may never have been or may never go. Speak your truth clearly with confidence and we will put these parasites in the dustbin of history where they belong.

Hold tight. The New Paradigm awaits us all. Real leaders like Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and all voices inside Canada, the United States and Europe who have simply had enough will make it happen with your support and courage. I would even venture to say that Trump would make the right leadership decisions if he were just given a fucking chance by the deep state corporate media establishment, and not surrounded by war mongering military morons.

As they say, speak the truth, even if your voice shakes or if your knees and hands tremble. There is an entire generation of orphaned children whose parents were killed in Syria, in Palestine, in Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, former Yugoslavia, Haiti, Sudan, Venezuela, Somalia, Pakistan and in Eastern Ukraine and more, by the policies of our governments which are continuing unabated. These children, and your children, need you to tell the Imperialists that we’ve had enough of them killing in our name. What kind of world will the next generation be left to deal with, and are they being given the mental, physical and emotional tools to fix it? I think, at this point, you and I both know the answer.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, known in China as the New Silk Road Lady, wrote an article which clearly spells out the New Paradigm and what it means:

“In fact, we are currently experiencing an epochal change. The period of nearly 600 years since the Italian Renaissance and the emergence of the sovereign nation-state, in which oligarchic forms of government and governments committed to the common good existed side by side, is coming to an end. The new paradigm, a new phase in human evolution, is already visible. The closest approximation to this is Xi Jinping’s vision of a community of common destiny—the concept that the idea of “one humanity” is set forth to all nations. The economic equivalent of this idea is the New Silk Road, in which all sovereign nations work together on the basis of cooperation for mutual benefit.

What we are currently experiencing, with all the unprovable accusations of “Russian hacking,” “interference in democratic elections,” “Chinese hegemony,” “threats to the Western system of democracy and human rights by authoritarian systems,” etc., is nothing more than a last gasp of a failing oligarchic system. The next financial collapse of this system—which has opened the gap between rich and poor, and whose policy of perpetual war has brought us both the refugee crisis and an epidemic of violence among young people and in the so-called entertainment industry—will be worse than it was in 2008.

It is time for rational people to reflect. We should use this new Sputnik shock and do what Putin said in his speech: “Let us sit down at the negotiating table and work together to design a new and relevant system of international security and sustainable development for all of human civilization.”

We can heal things still. We are the next generations’ hope. We can bring in the New Humanist Paradigm with your support because it already exists in Eurasia, China and Russia and in parts of Africa. Help the individuals and organizations I’ve mentioned in this article to crush the old imperialist paradigm with a whisper and not another catastrophic bang. Help us usher in the New Paradigm, for humanity’s sake.

Cameron, I can’t believe I am first to post a comment. Enough said. Wonderful comment gave me an incite to the things as they are. I’ll jump here a little. Some time ago, I heard a comment regarding Canada-US preparing to have a go at China in near future. I guess, they assumed that Russia was going to be a walk over, but it turned out quite the opposite, hence China took fourth stage, after Russia, Syria, Iran and now China. I guess, you might have to start looking over your shoulder after asking inappropriate questions.
As for the Chinese students, as many other foreign students they represent double edged sword. They are being targeted by the western security services as they try to hire them to sleeper agents for the west. While China and other countries hope that few of them will return and work for the benefit of their fatherland. The failure of the “western sitting protest” can be, in my opinion, attributed to the lack of understanding of what is really wrong in the western society, which is the basic rot. I will not go further, as I will start to sound like Lenin used to in his days. The rot is to entrenched and it’s hard to uproot it. It can not be done within the system. This is the problem with people in Europe. They are trying to work withing the system, which will not work. EU must be dealt a death blow. Wow, I sound just like Lenin. I must have read to many of his writings in young days.
Great job, thanks.

Very interesting post. Much I agree with, however I have had some direct personal experience with some of the information you put forward and it is at odds with your thesis.

1) THE SIDEWINDER REPORT…if you don’t know what it is, google it.

2) OSIP Office of state intellectual property, in China. It may have changed since I researched it in the mid-2000s for a proposed joint venture for the firm I worked for at the time with a PLA General whose son attended our local University. OSIP gave Chinese partners at least 51% of the venture and reserved the right to expropriate if deemed to be of “national importance”.

3) Fear in academia by many science researchers that Chinese grad assistants would “liberate their research and send it “home” for exploitation.

4)A (translated) book, I have since misplaced, written by two staff officers of the PLA training academy detailing how China could rise on the fruits of infiltration in North American academia in Science and technology and use the purloined material to advance the causes of the Chinese state….I’ll look for it again..

4) Real estate acquisitions in Canada by wealthy Chinese who recall the Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward as a “just in case it happens again” fall back position…a personal friend facilitated much of it and is now having second thoughts about the wisdom of it.

5) Maurice Strong (and the Desmarais family) and their close relationships with Canadian and Chinese political leaders (gifted terracotta warriors)

6) The utterly unexamined role of the Privy Council Office in Canadian geopolitics, trade agreements and MOUs.

7)The role of “western capital” and all that implies in China’s rapid growth and how China can avoid the traps we in the west face as a result of that relationship.

In conclusion it ain’t the 1%…it’s the .00000001%.

As a purely subjective aside I found the Conservatives to be a far less corrupt organization than the Liberals though still dominated by the PCO on all matters with International implications.

Starting from the premise that Canada, from pacific to Atlantic, is a country: This is false. You’re probably looking at 5 or 6 countries there, and a possible expansion of the US territory in a few spots.

Southern Ontario is Canada. It may go as far east as Montreal, far north as Sudbury, and to the west as far as Thunder Bay (roughly). But that’s the extent of it. All problems result from not grasping proper, true and historical borders. Some countries are naturally bigger. Russia and China are. In short, their size is justified by natural capacity to be large. They are giants because they are. America is a giant that uses evil tactics, but still in fact. Canada, as Pike understands it, is the problem. Canada is a midget. Everyday, it puts on stilts and pretends to be big (that’s why Ukrainians like going there so much!). It is conceptually a failed state and not just conceptually either. It doesn’t work, politics and economics aside; nothing personal.

One more thing: Cameron Pike cannot seriously be directing anyone to “the Larouche movement.” I’m going to need an eye replacement to see that again.

What’s wrong with Larouche (and his wife) ideas? It’s hard to comprehend some people’s revulsion when only hear his name. Or, because he was branded an antisemite, anti-zionist, anti-bankers conspiracist (“British-Jewish alliance lay at the heart of LaRouche’s conspiracism” (Daniel Pipes)?

yeah – I was thinking the same thing – its a bit boring signing into the LaRouche movement – and they’re all getting very old now – but why are people always so ready to make your compatriot your enemy instead of all of us – warts and all – getting onto the same side of the battlefield so we can face our real enemy – deep state

Quite a tour de force and exposes the massive problems US, Canada and UK have, who done it, why they done it and what the result is and will be in language even this tired old man can understand and comprehend. Most of the regulars here well know what is going on and by whom so to an extent it is preaching to the choir, but this blog gets a right smart number of wanderers through and it’s them that this article might open an eye or two in. That and this old regular for one learned a bit more than he knew an hour ago and methinks many of us will.

Problem is, and I’ve been around enough to understand it, most in US are so brainwashed that there is no talking to them. All who are not of what remains of the middle class and the upper class are progressively more focused on existing day to day and worrying about will they make ends meet by month’s end and at the same time a significant number of them are brain dead and have no thoughts but what outsider’s fault is all of this ever growing mess.

Gone are the days when by dint of hard work one could make a success of life in America, live comfortably albeit without the new Bentley in the garage every year, retire with the means to live out one’s ‘golden years’ and have a little something to leave to those children you worked so hard to educate well. The idea of the American Dream is dead and I watched it die. Those whom I know who lost everything and went from highly skilled and paid technicians in several vocations are now lucky to find work in a fast food emporium or in some menial pay ‘service’ job.

However, not a one I knew, and I use the past tense out of almost sorrow, ever said one word about revolution or violence. Not that they were saints, it was just something ingrained in them that one does not fight the government beyond complaining about whatever fops were ‘elected’ this time around an ‘where the heck have all the good jobs gone if you don’t work for the government’.

It will not be these people who eventually fight back, it will be others, those who still manage to get by, marry and raise children and often work two jobs to educate those children. It is them who served in the armed forces, it is them who now see the lies they were told when they enlisted and see the lies they are being told today. President Trump was their only hope and in my opinion many still see him with hope. They are not stupid, I would aver that they fully understand the mess President Trump stepped into a year ago and they understand the task he set for himself.

It is when the Deep State gets rid of President Trump, one way or another, that the fight will be on because then that last group of citizens will understand that their only hope is to turn on those who have usurped the US Government some decades ago, those who have willingly destroyed the hopes and dreams of so many in America and in so many countries in this world. It will not be pretty and yes, I’ve heard all the arguments pro and con for another ‘citizen’s revolt’, that the Deep State will never allow it, the Armed Forces will prevent it, what is left of the economy will collapse overnight and make the Great Depression look like a Church pot luck dinner that ran out of Aunt Tessie’s grilled grits. But think of this. What percentage of the meat of the Army comes from not the cities, not the Deep Staters, but the small towns and villages scattered all over America? Do you think they will open fire on their fellow citizens, knowing full well that their own families are going through what their fellow citizens are going through?

When I say it will not be pretty, I mean exactly that. It is these people who know how to work with their hands, they know how to fix things, how to grow food, how to maintain machinery big and small. The Deep State members have not a clue how to do anything but divide, rule and steal, they pay people to do everything for them, to protect them and make their lives safe and secure. The first shot of revolution and their day is done and over with. The second shot will be at those who have usurped and violated their oath of enlistment when they joined the military, those who, as Mr. Pike said, are evil beyond imagination. The serving and past Military hate those evil ones with a passion and are appalled at what they have done. It is the evil ones who will open fire on citizens and it is the evil ones who will be hunted down, pure and simple.

Now. It’s all well and good to say what I just said, just as it’s all well and good to say, truthfully, that we in our quiet little valley far away from this mess pray this will not happen, but truth is while the surface of the pot may be smooth, under that tranquil surface the pot is seething. It will happen, and more’s the pity for that because like in all wars many good and innocent people will die. You will find no one who hates war more than a warrior, and you will find no warrior who does not know that there are times when you must fight. That time is very near nigh.

The jobs went to China, India. Those are the new work slaves. Your other question about why everyone just complains and does not go past this point, can be answered quickly: “enemy within”, everyone is afraid to be called on this. And yes the magic is to financially enslave the people to put them in to such a debt that people have not choice, but put down their heads, mind their business and hang on to their work, which pays for the interest on the debt so they can say “we are living the American dream”. Really? Do not take me wrong, as I am one of these people. I look at my son, who graduated from University but has no chance to ever purchase a house, which are being snatched up by the Chinese.

According to this book (Your Brain at Work by David Roth) being afraid,feeling injustice, loss of status and autonomy etc literally makes us stupid.
There are five domains of social experience that your brain treats the same as survival issues:
Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness and Fairness

Uncertainty feels to your brain like a threat to your life. An increasing sense of fairness increases your levels of dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin. This generates a toward emotional state that makes you open to new ideas and more willing to connect with others.
Our predatory society is structured so to increase feelings of insecurity, relatedness, fairness and status. So we get more stressed and less intelligent therefore easier to manipulate. Add to this failed social contract and debt slavery – and no wonder most people are like a bunch of depressed, drug addict zombies

“Problem is, and I’ve been around enough to understand it, most in US are so brainwashed that there is no talking to them. ”

You got that right. I have currently given up trrying to talk sense to a university-grad friend who continues to rant and grind out absurd nonsense, no matter what. Here is a (small) sample (for a laff break):
“so many in Russia, including Putin, do not seem to be able to grasp – when it suits them – that the US is no longer in the 1950s, Germany is no longer Nazi, and the Mongol hordes are not about to sweep over their steppes nor the tribal peoples over their borders. It’s a national pastime and even mania to live in their beleaguered past, which is the catch-all excuse for many of their own hostile actions, although at times b/c they feel genuinely threatened . . .”

I considered this a crazy rant and told my friend so. My brief response was: “With NATO at their borders of course the Russians ‘feel” threatened. Because they actually are threatened. Unlike the USA which ‘feels’ threatened by Putin at every turn and imagined Russian meddling in our hallowed elections.” Not sure what one can say to educated friends etc. who quote “experts” from Harvard U up the wazoo while remaining in the dark as to, say, the role of Harvard in Russia in the 1990s and the fact that the univ. keeps a criminal, Andre Schliefer, on their payroll.

Mr. Pike’s frustration is abundantly evident and appropriate. Sadly, the psychic surgery that “has been performed” on the public North of the Rio Grand has been so successful that revolution is, sadly, impossible. The decline of the United States (dragging Canada, Great Britain and the EU with it) is irreversible and inevitable. The very best advice I might give is make friends with folk who can grow food, and get really good at manual tasks like carpentry, welding, and electrical wiring, and MOVE OUT of the big cities. The military is planning on protecting the “haves” from the “have nots” (most of us), and that is not going to be pretty.

In the US, one can easily get a conversation going about how messed up things are. Nobody thinks the system is working. Everyone knows that life keeps getting harder and harder, and that the dice are loaded and the game is rigged against them. But nobody sees any effective means of changing the situation.

We’ve seen several of what I call ‘brush-fires’. One was the Obama 2008 campaign. Obama went around giving speeches that seemed to be exercises of how many times he could put the words “Change” and “Hope” into a paragraph. And people responded to that in a big way. Yes, Obama was an Ivy-League con-man. But that does not negate the strong reaction that he got from the people by saying that we need Change and we need Hope.

The Occupy Wall Street movement was another brush-fire. That movement had a lot of support from ordinary people. And it was growing rapidly. Which seemed to scare the elites and they decided that it needed to be crushed before it grew. They used all their tools to do so. From media control to agent provacateurs on the inside to eventually the storm troopers being sent in to clear the encampments.

And the third brush-fire I’ve seen was the Trump campaign in 2016. Again, a movement caught fire that seemed to be offering something different to American citizens. Yes, Trump was also a con-man. And the Deep State did crush whatever he might have wanted to change. But that does not change the fact that when the American people are offered a chance at something different, they leap at the chance.

Thus, I take the situation as one of deep discontent. People everywhere know the system is badly wrong and does not work for ordinary citizens. But most of the time, there is nothing that people can see that offers a chance at some real Change or real Hope. So they keep their heads down and try to do what’s best for their family. But these brush-fires keep breaking out whenever people get a sniff that maybe some real Change might be possible.

Yes, I read the term for this a few years back, it is called “Inequality Management” –seriously. Big planning has been put into this. If anyone wants front line, real time courses on how this “works” look at what has been happening in Yemen, the West Bank, Gaza, and quite a few other places. We Are living in a post Armageddon society.

Back in 2005, Paul Martin championed the North America’s Opportunity Gateway — recognizing that the closest ports in North America to China were (and still are, in fact) in Vancouver, BC and Prince Rupert, BC. Thanks to NAFTA, imports through Canada had free access to the rest of North America.

Well-written and interesting piece on a fast deteriorating Canadian society — it’s more or less the same throughout the West. Good riddance to bad garbage.

Put bluntly, it was a really inspiring and sincere act of resistance by Cameron Pike as he told the preposterous bullshitters at the CIC that China actually represents hope, civilization, and progress. It’s something that rings truer with each passing day, maybe even to such utter nobodies as the CIC:

”/…/ the CIC leaders-in-training were helped by one twenty-something Chinese IT person so that Guy’s crap could be spewed on the screen. I couldn’t help but note the irony after listening to the presentation.”

And the totally imbecilic pronunciamento

”Because Barack Obama’s United States did not respond to Russia’s ‘invasion of Crimea’, and the ‘chemical weapons attack in Syria by the evil bloodthirsty Assad’, China saw it as a free ticket to build in the South China Sea and expand their economic and military influence globally”

makes my admiration for Putin, Xi, and Assad even stronger. They are statesmen gifted with intelligence, courage, and honour. The slander against them comes from people who should have been long since hanged — maybe also accompanied by a little ”humanitarian bombing” of their countries to ’drive home the point’.

Lastly, a reflection on Cameron Pike’s conclusion that ”Neo-conservatives posing as neo-Liberals should be of no surprise to fellow revolutionaries paying attention. However, they are still tricky to spot – kind of like a zebra in a black and white-striped maze.”

Actually, I think neocons and neolibs are 100% interchangeable. They share the same upper-class arrogance, but with the neocons being the more ”combustible” breed with their unrestrained, honest, and really violent class hatred.

The situation in Austfailure is just the same. Our ruling regimes and non-elite ‘elites’ compete to be the most groveling an arse-kissing to the USA and Israel. For about a year the US-controlled non-elite ‘elite’ psychopaths in politics, the fakestream media sewer and in various US-controlled and financed (by the likes of Raytheon, Lockheed etc)propaganda tanks have been competing to be the most viciously anti-Chinese. As our ‘intelligence’ agencies are appendages of the USA, through the Five Eyes system, with prime loyalties to the Exceptional Empire, not the country where they were incidentally born, they have been central to the local Sinophobic campaign, an integral part of the USA’s drive for war and regime change, to ‘bring China down’.
This campaign quickly, and seamlessly, moved into the territory of straight racism, as one expected. The hate-mongers, some of whom are quite unhinged in their racism and war-mongering, have targeted Chinese students, (without which our higher education system would collapse), scientific collaboration with China and even the long established Chinese communities, dwellers here for nearly 200 years, and mostly pre-Communist China or actively anti-communist in inclination, but now suspect as ‘the enemy within’. Needless to say the Chinese have done us NO harm, gift us fifty billion a year in trade surpluses and send us over one million tourists a year, without which our tourist industry would collapse.
The current Federal regime, of the merchant bankster, ex-Goldman Sachs, parasite Turnbull, the most malevolent and incompetent in our history, has joined in with manic excess. They have introduced ‘National Security’ legislation of such viciousness that even their supporters are frightened by its openly fascistic nature, but the regime drives on with that arrogance which Turnbull manifests in all his operations. The fakestream media, dominated by the American Murdoch’s hate-machine cancer, has joined the Sinophobe Crusade with the usual 100% Groupthink and the TOTAL ABSENCE of any dissenting voices, save when they appear without being properly vetted beforehand-these appear ONLY once, be assured.

Bear with me. This does have some things that relate directly to Canada’s Imperial Role.

It’s grim, eh?

But there’s hope!

Despite graduating with a bachelor’s degree in International Relations from an Ivy league University in the early 1970’s I knew nothing serious about history or international relations until 1979 or 1980.

After 6-7 years of dodging destinations like Wall St, in flight from society (or the State Department…..shudders!) “going to sea” in Alaska, and dreaming of sailing further across the Pacific Ocean to escape…..(Australia, New Zealand?? I had my fantasies…..LOL) ,I stopped, one off-season at a “book table” (folding, with some signs on it, pamplets and books on top, seasoned activist and a labor union retired volunteer behind, near the campus of the University of Washington ….and I purchased a copy of DOPE, Inc. Britain’s Opium War Against The United States, written by Jeff Steinberg and others of the Executive Intelligence Review.

One of thebook’s authors went his own way a few years later, but Jeff (see the end of my comment for a link…..relating to Babusha’s trip to Vietnam….discussed in the Cafe today..) endures as many others that toiled 5, 10, 20, 30 years or more…one by one tired and fell by the way side……

Anyway, I decided later that night in 1979 to crack the book open near bed time and read maybe a chapter, before dozing off.

In short order I was reading of the British East India Company’s cultivation of opium in India for forced export to China, Jardine Matheson, and the chartering of the Bank of Hong Kong and Shanghai….still existent today and known as HSBC (Hong Kong-Shanghai Banking Corporation……”hidden in plain sight” ……for transporting opium to China..(written right in its charter!!!).and silver and gold back to Britain .

So many missing connections began crossing and intersecting my neural synapses that I was unable to put the book down until after completing it (the newer edition, which I still have is nearly 700 pages) around breakfast time, the next morning. Wide Awake!

I never believed the Warren Commission, but sub plots within the main plot lead straight through Her Majesty’s Canadian Colony to the Bronfman’s Seagrams.Corporation…Sir Mortimer Blumfield (Clay Shaw’s controller within Permindex, investigated by Jim Garrison….Shaw indcited and tried by Garrison…and nearly convicted despite huge Deep State interference….) and many other leads previously unknown to me to even exist connecting major events of past (Lincoln Assasination) and more present (JFK assasination) history.

That is where my real education started. Dope Inc

For decades I followed the many campaigns domestically and internationally , led by the LaRouches and their associates. With the Bushes and Obama, in particular, and the enduring stupidity and smallness of most Americans around me making even conversation nearly impossible to begin (less than 1% odds of getting anywhere do not encourage speaking out…) I admit I tired of the endless uphill battle, and spent less and less time involved, tried to make a go of things financially and personally, and only checked the LPAC website briefly a few times a week. NO TV, though.

Only when age and health forced me to cut down on hours working did I for the first time take more time and poke around elsewhere on the internet. About 4-5 years ago, before even discovering the Vineyard of the Saker, with someone linking me to it through the Kievian Maidan, I listened to Michael Rivero in Hawaii, (“All Wars Are Banker’s Wars”) and a few others not bad at all, but not nearly as great as all the stuff out there that followed, and (for all of you who are weary of the long march of the last few years…..LOL) said to myself, ‘My God! We’ve won!”

Not that it was or is the time to celebrate. Not that the dumbing down of the majority did not continue unabated, rendering huge number of youth, in particular, virtually useless in ANY fight. But OMG!!! The numbers of people that know quite a bit and are reaching tens or hundreds of thousands of others or even millions of others with indispensable pieces of the puzzle……it has EXPLODED compared to the eighties, nineties and September 11, 2001….when I knew what that was, that same morning, and all around me morons on the freeway were flying American flags from their F-150s, going 80+ mph……and presumably running down Osama Bin Laden….in their own pitifully brainwashed minds.

“USA = Unbelievably Stupid (Insane) Asylum….and I am surrounded!” was my stoical conclusion when so many “Stars and Stripes” were flying…..and so many brains were misfiring.

I appreciate your article, Cameron, it gives plenty of hope for Canada and youth! Which I am sure Cameron is, compared to me.

I know some leftists in particular, find it very very difficult to pronounce the name “LaRouche”, for fear of how their old comrades would react. Not so in Russia and China! So, get over it already! What you were involved in when ICLC was also in “the Left” was most probably (10 to 1 chance!) penetrated by the FBI and The International Caucus Of Labor Committees was NOT (anywhere near the top)…….. so put bruised ego aside and live and learn….and move on, for the wiser, is my advice.

One more time, especially for Canada, Australia……and New Zealand where Prouty was deployed to just before Nov 22, 1963…..to get anyone with any patriotic “problems” away from their Pentagon Offices….where they might catch wind of what was about to go down in Dallas.

Prouty’s assignment??? Some South Pole Expedition! So in Auckland, he sees the full, prior prepared MSM report on Lee Harvey Oswald Being The Killer…..the day BEFORE JFK was shot~!

How?? International Date Line folks! It was still the day before in New Zealand. But the international wires (written the following day, from New Zealand time) already “Had Their Man”.

But he starts, near the beginning, with Vietnam, five minutes in to the video ….for those following Babushka’s trip there, very recently:

For me a very serious historical mistake in Canadian federal government policy was the plunge into the so-called free trade agreement with the US, then on to so-called NAFTA. This adoption of greatly increased continentalism in economic policy had been warily regarded, and more or less opposed, by prominent Canadian political factions for most of Canada’s history. The basic concern that along with the chimera of increased economic opportunities came inevitable reduced Canadian independence.

It was noteworthy to me that after the FTA was implemented, even the so-called socialist federal party, the NDP, basically jumped on the ‘free trade’ bandwagon, viewing it as a fait accomplis and taking the tack of let’s live with it, instead of viewing it as a permanent disabler of any effort to increase effective Canadian sovereignty, and worthy therefore of permanent opposition.

At the time of the so-called free trade negotiations, the media in Canada, including the CBC, were typically not objective, instead, were enthusiasts for free trade, but despite this the majority of the population were opposed. Which I think is a bit of evidence of widespread potential among Canadians to make up their own minds and retain some ability to summon up a contrarian common sense consensus, despite media propaganda.

There are some noteworthy differences between Canadians and Americans that seem to be quite tenacious. So, for example, Canada has had a public universal health care system – and warts and all it is pretty amazingly good on the whole – for roughly half a century. Pollster Michael Adams around 2003 reported that Canadians were watching a lot less tv than Americans, and were quite a bit more inclined to question authority. And Americans at that time were quite a bit fatter than Canadians, for whatever that’s worth. As I recall Americans were far more likely to shoot first and ask questions perhaps not at all.

In concert with the US and Europe, it’s noteworthy how relentless the propaganda is in Canadian media today, but this at some point backfires when the gap between the bs and reality starts to become an obvious chasm.

It’s hard to ‘read’ the ‘grassroots’, but I see some signs of a subterranean awakening in Canada coalescing. I may be putting too much into a few such incidents, but an example in my life was the truck driver delivering gravel, who wanted to chat not about trucks or gravel or his kids or climate change but about the global private banking cartel and the debt that they were scamming on us and enslaving us with. He was fully aware of some of the basics, such as the federal reserve system as a private interest usurpation of US constitutional authority over the money system. Whether that interest of his was just idiosyncratic or a cultural weather wane I do not know

medical plan in Canada – BC anyway – is getting dismantled – like BC Hydro before it – and BC Tel before that – all is getting privatized – I worked in the hospital industry last year – the facility I worked in was still owned by the government – $17.50 an hour – before deductions – the facility over the water from my island – on Vancouver Island – same job ? $14.50 an hour – because it was now privatized –

In my observation is that we have noticeable less Canadians flying US flag in parallel to Canada’s flags in their front lawns lately.
A slight awakening? perhaps.
Canada at its best is a benevolent dictatorship but don’t try to tell that to a man on the street.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

@Fidelios. I think Larouche and the Schiller Institute do some good things, though Larouche itself is a bit diffuse and inclined to go off on a tangent — like the author of the above article. A good example of the proverb that sometimes: “One must eat a peck of dirt to get a grain of food”.

Glancing through their website today I approved the following items: Larouche himself warning, in 2004, that 911 was an inside job to conceal a Fascist takeover of the USA [who can doubt that now?]; that the Greens have fascist New World Order tendencies, and are led by ex-Nazi sympathisers — such as Prince Bernhardt of the Netherlands and our own dear Queen Lillibet who was taught the Nazi salute at age 8; and I share Larouche’s dislike of British Empiricism and Utilitarianism as philosophical doctrines with political implications — “government by checks and balances”, “the best prison has 100% surveillance”, and “a bowling ally is as good as poetry”. Larouche and Schiller are among the few political movements who share Dr.Johnson’s old-fashioned respect for Culture from the 18th century when gentlemen wore lace on their cuffs: “Greek is like lace, a gentleman gets as much of it as he can”.

LaRouche has a profound respect for Plato, the bête noire of Protestantism, of Thomas Jefferson (for the adoption of his ‘mysticisms’ by the ‘organized churches’ – i.e. The Church) and for Leibniz, the bête noire of Newtonian ‘philosophy’ the font of British Empiricism and Utilitarianism.

@Ann. Have you read “A Beautiful Idea” by Frank Wilczek? A physicist who takes Plato very seriously indeed, because he found that one of Plato’s favourite symbols — the 5 Platonic solids — was the key with which Wilczek could unlock the perfect symmetry of the hitherto only imperfectly symmetrical Standard Theory of Quantum Chromodynamics. Thus a good old idea (probably older than Plato) can inspire a good new idea 2,500 years later — if you chew on it long enough. Wilczek has chewed over the idea of symmetry for more than 40 years; he wrote his first paper in 1973 as an undergraduate, for which he received the Nobel prize 30 years later in 2003, and now he has digested the 5 Platonic Solids (why are they have only 5 different shapes and no more) into his “new and beautiful truth” (why Nature — ie, God’s Demiergos — needed only a small number of “different shaped” fundamental “building blocks” out of which to make us and everything else in the world around us.

I just loved this artcile….. especially the part where writer implies that the dumbing down of the mass s where too few comprehend history eg history repeating its self etc etc etc.are now the new recruits entering important levels of power

I entered University at 40 and eventually pursued a masters ….. Aid … why does it fail ….. Conclusion … show me a “western bank” which gives discount on money …… There are NONE! a blatant play with language again.

Humanitarium aid ? is given once behind the scene s arm twisting is complete so giver can extort more wealth or reduce sovereignty …. you get the drift. Most professors appear to play the game Why ? perhaps they like the home comforts and the prestige ….as to challenge the deep state means uncomfortable things happen…..

Hi Cameron – that was a fantastic article – thanks very much – I’m from Vancouver – I now live on Saltspring – are you ever over there ?

this sentence of yours:

Eco-activist leaders like Naomi Klein, just like the elites she represents, have a scorched-earth policy: if they can’t rule and control it how they want, they will burn or kill it – like a petulant child throwing a catastrophic earth-ending temper tantrum. That is why she admitted in an interview that the real target of her policies is to bring down Capitalism, (Jeremy Scahill and Glenn Greenwald should be ashamed of themselves for associating with her – honestly). This is not just a moral problem but an intellectual crisis that will last for generations if it is not stopped.

I agree with you – but Democracy Now – ie Glenn Greenwald platform – is a fake – even Cynthia McKinney calls it that –

When the Intercept notified the CIA about Reality Winner – and whether the papers she had submitted to this nasty news source – were accurate – that was the day I never read Glenn Greenwald again –

What you say about living in the expensive North America – is so true – I finally declared bankruptcy and now I’m penniless but at least debt free – I had paid all my credit off btw – I carried those cards around for 20 years at the top limit – and finally figured out I had paid – on each of them – the maximum limit – I had paid that back – but they were all still at the limit because of the criminal interest rates –

But sadly, I find out that my friends, my fellow Canadian sufferers – low to zero employment and financial abuse by employers – my friends are all still sucking the teats of the banks for credit – overdrawn at the bank and pre-paid by their employers if they can get it – CRAZY –

but I don’t agree that all eco-activists are bad – and I don’t agree that the NRA is good – what are most guns used for ? Not for protecting you and your loved ones from bad guys – most of the members of NRA are HUNTERS – that’s disgusting – there is no such thing as hunting for food – every animal killed nowadays by these fancy guns – are trophies – and many of them are endangered – I guess you might say that I am an eco-activist – and striving to be a vegan –

Conservatives need to remember – that its not that hard to sloganize everything – vegans are detestable sometimes when they are doing a really bad job at convincing their listeners about cancer causing dairy – but the agriculture industry is abominable and food animals suffer more than people everyday – everywhere –

and finally – although I fear to say it – OBOR is not making corridors in any country – AFRICA – for wildlife – so these super fast trains are going to be the final brick that puts these darling sweet precious and endangered living breathing artwork of the Gods – in their final grave – for what ? More trade ? Yuck

Back when I was out protesting globilization and our Endless Wars, Democracy Now! used to be the show that covered our protests.

But that was in the past. Somwhere, they seemed to find a lot of new money instead of being broke all the time. And their new coverage changed to one of strong support for the Democratic Party.

So, these days, I just refer to that show as “Democrats Now!”

And since the Democrats are now the party of the bankers and the corporations and so very pro-war that they go into epilectic fits at the notion that they can’t have Hillary’s planned war with Russia, that’s now the line they take.

One thing about this world, everything changes. Democracy Now! used to be a great show. Now its just Democrats Now!. I remember when Ted Turner’s CNN provided a good news source. Their coverage from Baghdad during Daddy’ Bush’s Iraq War was fantastic. Then Ted sold them to Time-Warner, and the network became fake-news. The Democrats used to be the party of farmers, labor and the working middle class. Now the Democrats are the pro-war party of the Wall Street bankers.

Stay light on your feet my friends and realize that when our opponents have billions to spend, they can buy and corrupt anything. What was true yesterday becomes false today. We just have to adapt and keep on fighting.

What is striking is that the author, amongs all the activists out there to debunk, takes it against Naomi Klein, who was the first in warning us about the Shock Doctrine of the Chicago guys and Milton Friedman that was applied to all the LatinAmerican countries through fascist coup d´etats and dictatorships since no other way the people could accept such “treatment”( where the LaRouche Organization had its own role itself in the Nicaraguan Contra issue…) then to the USSR and is currently at work almost at every place in the Western world.
I got it that what the author really has against Naomi Klein is, what? That she fights capitalism….

Related to the 9/11 issue, I wonder how the author, and other LaRouche sympathizers and propagandists here, explain the fact that Donald Rumsfeld, one of those at the top ( and I would say still or always part of the “deep state” ) when that heinous event took place, happens to be a member of the “Schiller Insitute”, which is not but a branch of the LaRouche Organization….

IMNSHO, the LaRouche Organization´s role along the times/decades, has been to catch and confusse working people and masses so as to missdirect them in choosing precisely what represents everything but their interests. Another tool of capitalism to keep itself aflote. Notice that they are always around when capitalism is in crisis….

First, lets give the protests their proper title, which was Occupy Wall Street.

I was standing next to a busy American metropolitan boulevard, holding signs that said that Wall Street was the problem. It was amazing the response that this received. It was almost uniformly positive. Horns being honked. Thumbs up signals given out of car windows. We soon had lines of cars coming to drop off donations from people who wanted to support us. The most negative reactions were simply cars that went by with the windows up. Which is quite a difference for someone who was an experienced lefty protestor and who was well used to having insults like “Commies” thrown at us. Or litterally beer bottles thrown at us like when I was protesting Dubya’s Iraq War. Nothing like that. It was all either positive reaction or just silence.

Which told me that the protests had struck an important nerve. It wasn’t just the activist types who opposed Wall Street, but everyone driving past had their own reasons. I could imagine people who’d lost their jobs through some merger and/or downsizing. Or who had been told by Wall Street that there were no raises coming anytime soon in Obama’s economic recovery. By standing there with a sign that basically said that Wall Street was the problem, that got a huge response from all sorts of people who’d had their own lives degraded by Wall Street.

Of “Occupy Wall Street”, it was the Wall Street part that was right on target. And its always struck me how quickly that part got dropped. How quickly it became just ‘Occupy’.

But I won’t forget that experience of standing by the side of the road with a sign that said that Wall Street was the problem, and how so many people from so many walks of life agreed with that sentiment.

Christia Freeland is a Ukrainian Nationalist first. Canada is at the back of the bus. As soon as she is out of Canadian politics, she will be in Poroshenko’s cabinet living high off the hog in Kiev on her Canadian pension.

@Anon (the one naming mafiosi and cocaine smugglers in Canadian politics). By coincidence last night I came across the great Canadian humorist Stephen Leacock advising women on job opportunities in Canada: “you can even enter a criminal profession, either in the lower ranks as a burglar or at the top as a politician”. The Woman Question, written during WW1. In this essay Prof.Leacock forecasts that women will prove to be even more uscrupulous than men in business dealing, and no less warlike in foreign policy. Prophetic?

Since Canada is ‘up’ in this article lets get everyone ‘up’ to proper speed. Canada is a corporation, a fully owned and controled subsiduary of the British Royal Mafia. Some Canadians, shit, the majority, think they live in a soverign state, poor dears………really………..anyone want to check out who owns Canada? When Canadian officers of the court, officers of the law, and the officers that get elected to parliment swear their Oath of Aligence, it is to the Queen of England her heirs and decendants, not Canada. Any Canadians doubt this, get your Land Title Document of your property and read it. Not sure how many are still capable of reading, never mind understanding, but the document does not list the owner/co-owners of the property, you are listed as a tennant…………….and if you don’t pay your taxes to the Crown they reposses your land, house and all…………………and if that doesn’t sit well, all the money that anyone has in the bank in Canada actually belongs to the Queen of England. It is her mug on all the coins and paper………….poor poor dears, really!

@Sean
Good commenting!
Canadians pay that old lady in funky hat for having her image on Canadian coinage.
Expect to be punished when caught collecting fire wood on crown land as she owns all of the country. Yes so called individual ownership of land is only delusional imagination. These days the “lease” also called property tax is reaching confiscatory levels thus even further diminishing this delusional imagination.
Unfortunately no one here comes to that realization. Sad state of affairs.

I wonder why Cameron makes such a moral argument here. It reads like a kind of “alt” John Wayne script, with the bad guy/good guy roles reversed. Freedland is from a wealthy suburb of Toronto; of course she represents the vested interests (BIG news!). And whoever follows her will be the same. This is status quo, ever thus. Is there some particular reason for people to suddenly spring out of the weeds and shout “aha!”? It’s not news. Tory, Liberal, NDP – what the hell’s the difference? Friends, don’t grab your banners and occupy bank headquarters. They’ll just send out the goons at public expense. It’s a losing proposition. Leave time and history to judge these people, and particularly social media; that’s the one thing both Orwell and Huxley missed. Yes, Orwell’s telescreen in 1984 has a window into the private lives of every citizen. But it also works the other way too; private citizens have an unprecedented window into the lives and machinations of every public figure. I’m glad there’s no privacy; the government gets to read my shopping list, I get to see video of Justin Trudeau at Walmart on Saturday night trying on thongs. That’s a good tradeoff in my view. No government, no system or oligarchy can function under this kind of public scrutiny. They’re all doomed, and there’s nothing we need to do. Well, you can do this; enjoy your life, your bourgeois pleasures. Become a Catholic, take your kids to the park, watch sentimental movies, give to the poor, and vote for people who aren’t lying pricks. That goes a lot further than tar and feathers and bricks through windows…

“Canada is in for a huge, ‘MAGA’-like wakeup call. In light of Trump’s battle against the Deep State in the U.S., with Hillary Clinton and Obama being seriously challenged, the insanity of neo-liberal menticide conducted on the American, Canadian and European populations for the last 60 years, the sane, rational all but silenced and angry voices are speaking up.”

This is shocking news. Canadians always had the reputation of being just like Californians in their “Hillary Clinton-style” politics and in their liberal Christian religious beliefs. Canada does not have an American Bill of Rights. What is keeping that country from becoming a Chinese-style surveillance state?

Somebody mentioned the Queen, ang how she owns Canada, etc. It is all true. To become a government employee, not just federal, but on provincial level, one has to wear allegiance to – her majesty, not the state of Canada, which would be more logical. Government people are not allowed to use their cars when on the job, so lot’s of rent-a-car happens. Peculier thing is, the rental agreement does not say “Governmnt of Ontario”, or “Ministry this of that”, no, it says “Her Majesty the Queen”. And yes, all the land, even ‘unceeded aboriginal land’ is simply called – The Crown Land. Also, current governer of Bank of England, comes from Canada, from, er, position of Governer of Bank of Canada.

The crime record of the West against the rest of humanity is unseen in the known history of mankind. The estimate number of deaths ( 500 years) of non-white people is about ONE BILLION according some researchers. China is one of those countries suffered terribly. They called it 100 years of humiliation, 100 millions opium addicts, theft, invasion and genocide.
Now to the topic. I am not Chinese and not any supporter of China either, only observer. There are my reasons, why West will never be able to defeat China.

1. China as a culture and civilization is much older and mature then West.
2. China is superior as far as concern wisdom and spirituality.
3. The motto of China was/is”conquest by service”, while western motto was and is: conquest by force and plunder.
4.The average Chinese is much polite, modest and humble then a average western, who is often arrogant, self glorifying and hedonist.
5.China is a united nation and it was very difficult for Western spies and deceivers to create conflict and disorder or regime changes. A Gigantic United Country.
6. Chinese are very hard working people with a strong family and social structure. Western people can not survive without alcohol and TVs.
7.Chinese schools have a rigid discipline, respect to teacher, to old people and parents. Western Kinder gardens teaching children about gays, trans, and sex. In the entire 10-12 years of school you never hear any word about modesty, respect of parents, senior people, dignity, wisdom, faithfulness etc.
8.China does not interfere in the affairs of other countries, they respect other cultures. Western world thing they own the planet and other nations should be thankful that they can live in this planet, which they consider a private property.
9.Leaders of China does not consider themselves “Gods” , elites, or superior men. They consider themselves as fathers of nation, mothers of nation, they are part of nation, not “Gods” of nation.
10. Now the most important one. An average Chinese (here includes Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia etc) have an IQ of 105-110, it is much more then an average Western “superior proud white”. In any IQ test or math competition no “Superior western white”can be a match for “lower races” of far east. I think this is a punishment from God almighty. History will decide who are the real “superior ones”.

Based on these 10 reason, West have no chance to stand, compete or win against China. West may defeat or control any nation in the planet, including Russia, but not China.
